Army Rule
Seers’ Guidance
The rune-sighted wisdom of the Farseers helps to guide the killing strikes of the
Aeldari warhosts.
Units from your army with the Strands of Fate ability replace that ability with this
one.
Once per battle round, you can target one unit from your army with this ability with the Command Re-roll Stratagem for 0CP.
Detachment Rule
Unerring Strike
Once loosed at their target, the warriors who make up the Arrow of Khaine focus all
of their attentions upon their singular target, ’[hey move with all the balletic speed of their people, and
let nothing slow their attack.
In your Movement phase, each time an AELDARI unit
from your army makes a Normal move, while making that move it can
attempt to operate a closed Hatchway that is within 1" of it at any point during that move, provided there
are no enemy units within 1" of that Hatchway. If that AELDARI unit does attempt to
operate that Hatchway, reduce the distance each model in that unit can move this phase by 2" (if this makes
it impossible for that unit to gel within 1" of that Hatchway it wishes to operate, then it cannot attempt
to do so), and it cannot operate a Hatchway again this turn.
